-# BMAD Knowledge Base
-
-## Overview
-
-BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-driven Development) is a framework that combines AI agents with Agile development methodologies. The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments.
-
-### Key Features
-
-- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role
-- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization
-- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs
-- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists
-- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control
-
-## Core Philosophy
-
-### Vibe CEO'ing
-
-You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to:
-
-- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives
-- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality
-- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents
-
-### Core Principles
-
-1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate.
-2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs.
-3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment.
-4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process.
-5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs.
-6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs.
-7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand.
-8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges.

-# Create Expansion Pack Task
-
-This task helps you create a comprehensive BMAD expansion pack that can include new agents, tasks, templates, and checklists for a specific domain.
-
-## Understanding Expansion Packs
-
-Expansion packs extend BMAD with domain-specific capabilities. They are self-contained packages that can be installed into any BMAD project. Every expansion pack MUST include a custom BMAD orchestrator agent that manages the domain-specific workflow.
-
-## CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS
-
-1. **Create Planning Document First**: Before any implementation, create a concise task list for user approval
-2. **Verify All References**: Any task, template, or data file referenced in an agent MUST exist in the pack
-3. **Include Orchestrator**: Every pack needs a custom BMAD-style orchestrator agent
-4. **User Data Requirements**: Clearly specify any files users must provide in their data folder
-
-## Process Overview
-
-### Phase 1: Discovery and Planning
-
-#### 1.1 Define the Domain
-
-Ask the user:
-
-- **Pack Name**: Short identifier (e.g., `healthcare`, `fintech`, `gamedev`)
-- **Display Name**: Full name (e.g., "Healthcare Compliance Pack")
-- **Description**: What domain or industry does this serve?
-- **Key Problems**: What specific challenges will this pack solve?
-- **Target Users**: Who will benefit from this expansion?
-
-#### 1.2 Gather Examples
-
-Request from the user:
-
-- **Sample Documents**: Any existing documents in this domain
-- **Workflow Examples**: How work currently flows in this domain
-- **Compliance Needs**: Any regulatory or standards requirements
-- **Output Examples**: What final deliverables look like
-- **Data Requirements**: What reference data files users will need to provide
-
-#### 1.3 Create Planning Document
-
-IMPORTANT: STOP HERE AND CREATE PLAN FIRST
-
-Create `expansion-packs/{pack-name}/plan.md` with:
-
-```markdown
-# {Pack Name} Expansion Pack Plan
-
-## Overview
-
-- Pack Name: {name}
-- Description: {description}
-- Target Domain: {domain}
-
-## Components to Create
-
-### Agents
-
-- [ ] {pack-name}-orchestrator (REQUIRED: Custom BMAD orchestrator)
-- [ ] {agent-1-name}
-- [ ] {agent-2-name}
-
-### Tasks
-
-- [ ] {task-1} (referenced by: {agent})
-- [ ] {task-2} (referenced by: {agent})
-
-### Templates
-
-- [ ] {template-1} (used by: {agent/task})
-- [ ] {template-2} (used by: {agent/task})
-
-### Checklists
-
-- [ ] {checklist-1}
-- [ ] {checklist-2}
-
-### Data Files Required from User
-
-- [ ] {filename}.{ext} - {description of content needed}
-- [ ] {filename2}.{ext} - {description of content needed}
-
-## Approval
-
-User approval received: [ ] Yes
-```
-
-Important: Wait for user approval before proceeding to Phase 2
-
-### Phase 2: Component Design
-
-#### 2.1 Create Orchestrator Agent
-
-**FIRST PRIORITY**: Design the custom BMAD orchestrator:
-
-- **Name**: `{pack-name}-orchestrator`
-- **Purpose**: Master coordinator for domain-specific workflow
-- **Key Commands**: Domain-specific orchestration commands
-- **Integration**: How it leverages other pack agents
-- **Workflow**: The complete process it manages
-
-#### 2.2 Identify Specialist Agents
-
-For each additional agent:
-
-- **Role**: What specialist is needed?
-- **Expertise**: Domain-specific knowledge required
-- **Interactions**: How they work with orchestrator and BMAD agents
-- **Unique Value**: What can't existing agents handle?
-- **Required Tasks**: List ALL tasks this agent references
-- **Required Templates**: List ALL templates this agent uses

-
-#### 4.2 Agent Creation Order
-
-For each additional agent:
-
-1. Create persona file with domain expertise
-2. Create agent configuration YAML
-3. Create IDE-optimized version
-4. **STOP** - Verify all referenced tasks/templates exist
-5. Create any missing tasks/templates immediately
-6. Mark agent as complete in plan.md
-
-#### 4.3 Task Creation Guidelines
-
-Each task should:
-
-1. Have a clear, single purpose
-2. Include step-by-step instructions
-3. Provide examples when helpful
-4. Reference domain standards
-5. Be reusable across agents
-
-#### 4.4 Template Best Practices
-
-Templates should:
-
-1. Include clear section headers
-2. Provide inline instructions

-## Interactive Questions Flow
-
-### Initial Discovery
-
-1. "What domain or industry will this expansion pack serve?"
-2. "What are the main challenges or workflows in this domain?"
-3. "Do you have any example documents or outputs? (Please share)"
-4. "What specialized roles/experts exist in this domain?"
-5. "What reference data will users need to provide?"
-
-### Planning Phase
-
-1. "Here's the proposed plan. Please review and approve before we continue."
-
-### Orchestrator Design
-
-1. "What key commands should the {pack-name} orchestrator support?"
-2. "What's the typical workflow from start to finish?"
-3. "How should it integrate with core BMAD agents?"
-
-### Agent Planning
-
-1. "For agent '{name}', what is their specific expertise?"
-2. "What tasks will this agent reference? (I'll create them)"
-3. "What templates will this agent use? (I'll create them)"
-4. "What data files will this agent need? (You'll provide these)"
-
-### Task Design
-
-1. "Describe the '{task}' process step-by-step"
-2. "What information is needed to complete this task?"
-3. "What should the output look like?"
-
-### Template Creation
-
-1. "What sections should the '{template}' document have?"
-2. "Are there any required formats or standards?"
-3. "Can you provide an example of a completed document?"
-
-### Data Requirements
-
-1. "For {data-file}, what information should it contain?"
-2. "What format should this data be in?"
-3. "Can you provide a sample?"
-
-## Important Considerations
-
-- **Plan First**: ALWAYS create and get approval for plan.md before implementing
-- **Orchestrator Required**: Every pack MUST have a custom BMAD orchestrator
-- **Verify References**: ALL referenced tasks/templates MUST exist
-- **Document Data Needs**: Clearly specify what users must provide
-- **Domain Expertise**: Ensure accuracy in specialized fields
-- **Compliance**: Include necessary regulatory requirements
-
-## Tips for Success
-
-1. **Plan Thoroughly**: The plan.md prevents missing components
-2. **Build Orchestrator First**: It defines the overall workflow
-3. **Verify As You Go**: Check off items in plan.md
-4. **Test References**: Ensure no broken dependencies
-5. **Document Data**: Users need clear data file instructions
-
-## Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
-1. **Missing Orchestrator**: Every pack needs its own BMAD-style orchestrator
-2. **Orphaned References**: Agent references task that doesn't exist
-3. **Unclear Data Needs**: Not specifying required user data files
-4. **Skipping Plan**: Going straight to implementation
-5. **Generic Orchestrator**: Not making it domain-specific
-
-## Completion Checklist
-
-- [ ] plan.md created and approved
-- [ ] All plan.md items checked off
-- [ ] Orchestrator agent created
-- [ ] All agent references verified
-- [ ] Data requirements documented or added
-- [ ] README includes all setup instructions
-- [ ] manifest.yml reflects actual files

-# Create Team Task
-
-This task guides you through creating a new BMAD agent team that conforms to the agent-team schema and effectively combines agents for specific project types.
-
-**Note for User-Created Teams**: If creating a custom team for your own use (not part of the core BMAD system), prefix the team name with a period (e.g., `.team-frontend`) to ensure it's gitignored and won't conflict with repository updates.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. Load and understand the team schema: `/bmad-core/schemas/agent-team-schema.yml`
-2. Review existing teams in `/bmad-core/agent-teams/` for patterns and naming conventions
-3. List available agents from `/agents/` to understand team composition options
-4. Review workflows in `/bmad-core/workflows/` to align team capabilities
-
-## Process
-
-### 1. Define Team Purpose and Scope
-
-Before selecting agents, clarify the team's mission:
-
-- **Team Purpose**: What specific problems will this team solve?
-- **Project Types**: Greenfield, brownfield, or both?
-- **Technical Scope**: UI-focused, backend-only, or full-stack?
-- **Team Size Consideration**: Smaller teams (3-5 agents) for focused work, larger teams (6-8) for comprehensive coverage
-
-### 2. Create Team Metadata
-
-Based on the schema requirements:
-
-- **Team Name**: Must follow pattern `^Team .+$` (e.g., "Team Frontend", "Team Analytics")
-  - For user teams: prefix with period (e.g., "Team .MyCustom")
-- **Description**: 20-500 characters explaining team's purpose, capabilities, and use cases
-- **File Name**: `/bmad-core/agent-teams/team-{identifier}.yml`
-  - For user teams: `/bmad-core/agent-teams/.team-{identifier}.yml`
-
-### 3. Select Agents Based on Purpose
-
-#### Discover Available Agents
-
-1. List all agents from `/agents/` directory
-2. Review each agent's role and capabilities
-3. Consider agent synergies and coverage
-
-#### Agent Selection Guidelines
-
-Based on team purpose, recommend agents:
-
-**For Planning & Strategy Teams:**
-
-- `bmad` (required orchestrator)
-- `analyst` - Requirements gathering and research
-- `pm` - Product strategy and documentation
-- `po` - Validation and approval
-- `architect` - Technical planning (if technical planning needed)
-
-**For Design & UX Teams:**
-
-- `bmad` (required orchestrator)
-- `ux-expert` - User experience design
-- `architect` - Frontend architecture
-- `pm` - Product requirements alignment
-- `po` - Design validation
-
-**For Development Teams:**
-
-- `bmad-orchestrator` (required)
-- `sm` - Sprint coordination
-- `dev` - Implementation
-- `qa` - Quality assurance
-- `architect` - Technical guidance
-
-**For Full-Stack Teams:**
-
-- `bmad-orchestrator` (required)
-- `analyst` - Initial planning
-- `pm` - Product management
-- `ux-expert` - UI/UX design (if UI work included)
-- `architect` - System architecture
-- `po` - Validation
-- Additional agents as needed
-
-#### Special Cases
-
-- **Using Wildcard**: If team needs all agents, use `["bmad", "*"]`
-- **Validation**: Schema requires `bmad` in all teams
-
-### 4. Select Workflows
-
-Based on the schema's workflow enum values and team composition:
-
-1. **Analyze team capabilities** against available workflows:
-
-   - `brownfield-fullstack` - Requires full team with UX
-   - `brownfield-service` - Backend-focused team
-   - `brownfield-ui` - UI/UX-focused team
-   - `greenfield-fullstack` - Full team for new projects
-   - `greenfield-service` - Backend team for new services
-   - `greenfield-ui` - Frontend team for new UIs
-
-2. **Match workflows to agents**:
-
-   - UI workflows require `ux-expert`
-   - Service workflows benefit from `architect` and `dev`
-   - All workflows benefit from planning agents (`analyst`, `pm`)
-
-3. **Apply schema validation rules**:
-   - Teams without `ux-expert` shouldn't have UI workflows
-   - Teams named "Team No UI" can't have UI workflows
-
-### 5. Create Team Configuration
-
-Generate the configuration following the schema:
-
-```yaml
-bundle:
-  name: "{Team Name}" # Must match pattern "^Team .+$"
-  description: >-
-    {20-500 character description explaining purpose,
-    capabilities, and ideal use cases}
-
-agents:
-  - bmad # Required orchestrator
-  - { agent-id-1 }
-  - { agent-id-2 }
-  # ... additional agents
-
-workflows:
-  - { workflow-1 } # From enum list
-  - { workflow-2 }
-  # ... additional workflows
-```
-
-### 6. Validate Team Composition
-
-Before finalizing, verify:
-
-1. **Role Coverage**: Does the team have all necessary skills for its workflows?
-2. **Size Optimization**:
-   - Minimum: 2 agents (bmad + 1)
-   - Recommended: 3-7 agents
-   - Maximum with wildcard: bmad + "\*"
-3. **Workflow Alignment**: Can the selected agents execute all workflows?
-4. **Schema Compliance**: Configuration matches all schema requirements
-
-### 7. Integration Recommendations
-
-Document how this team integrates with existing system:
-
-1. **Complementary Teams**: Which existing teams complement this one?
-2. **Handoff Points**: Where does this team hand off to others?
-3. **Use Case Scenarios**: Specific project types ideal for this team
-
-### 8. Validation and Testing
-
-1. **Schema Validation**: Ensure configuration matches agent-team-schema.yml
-2. **Build Validation**: Run `npm run validate`
-3. **Build Team**: Run `npm run build:team -t {team-name}`
-4. **Size Check**: Verify output is appropriate for target platform
-5. **Test Scenarios**: Run sample workflows with the team
-
-## Example Team Creation
-
-### Example 1: API Development Team
-
-```yaml
-bundle:
-  name: "Team API"
-  description: >-
-    Specialized team for API and backend service development. Focuses on
-    robust service architecture, implementation, and testing without UI
-    components. Ideal for microservices, REST APIs, and backend systems.
-
-agents:
-  - bmad
-  - analyst
-  - architect
-  - dev
-  - qa
-  - po
-
-workflows:
-  - greenfield-service
-  - brownfield-service
-```
-
-### Example 2: Rapid Prototyping Team
-
-```yaml
-bundle:
-  name: "Team Prototype"
-  description: >-
-    Agile team for rapid prototyping and proof of concept development.
-    Combines planning, design, and implementation for quick iterations
-    on new ideas and experimental features.
-
-agents:
-  - bmad
-  - pm
-  - ux-expert
-  - architect
-  - dev
-
-workflows:
-  - greenfield-ui
-  - greenfield-fullstack
-```
-
-## Team Creation Checklist
-
-- [ ] Team purpose clearly defined
-- [ ] Name follows schema pattern "Team {Name}"
-- [ ] Description is 20-500 characters
-- [ ] Includes bmad orchestrator
-- [ ] Agents align with team purpose
-- [ ] Workflows match team capabilities
-- [ ] No conflicting validations (e.g., no-UI team with UI workflows)
-- [ ] Configuration validates against schema
-- [ ] Build completes successfully
-- [ ] Output size appropriate for platform
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Start Focused**: Create teams with specific purposes rather than general-purpose teams
-2. **Consider Workflow**: Order agents by typical workflow sequence
-3. **Avoid Redundancy**: Don't duplicate roles unless needed
-4. **Document Rationale**: Explain why each agent is included
-5. **Test Integration**: Verify team works well with selected workflows
-6. **Iterate**: Refine team composition based on usage
-
-This schema-driven approach ensures teams are well-structured, purposeful, and integrate seamlessly with the BMAD ecosystem.

-# Document Migration Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-Migrate BMAD-METHOD documents to match V4 template structure exactly, preserving all content while enforcing strict template compliance.
-
-## Task Requirements
-
-1. **Input**: User MUST specify the document to migrate (e.g., `docs/prd.md`)
-2. **Template**: User MUST specify the V4 template to use (e.g., `.bmad-core/templates/prd-tmpl.md`)
-3. **Validation**: Verify document and template are compatible types
-4. **Output**: Creates migrated document with original name, backs up original with `.bak` extension
-
-[[LLM: VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS:
-
-- Both input document and template paths MUST be provided by the user
-- Do NOT assume or select templates automatically
-- Validate that document type matches template type (e.g., PRD → PRD template)
-- Reject incompatible migrations (e.g., PRD → architecture template)
-
-]]
-
-## Migration Rules
-
-### Strict Template Compliance
-
-[[LLM: CRITICAL RULES:
-
-1. The ONLY Level 2 headings (##) allowed are EXACTLY those in the V4 template
-2. No additions, no removals, no modifications to Level 2 headings
-3. All user content must be preserved and placed under appropriate template sections
-4. Remove any existing table of contents
-5. Never delete user content - find the most appropriate section
-6. DO NOT add any LLM prompts, placeholders, or "TBD" content
-7. Leave empty sections empty - no instructions or guidance text
-
-]]
-
-### Content Migration Process
-
-1. **Read Template Structure**
-
-   - Extract all Level 2 headings from the V4 template
-   - These are the ONLY Level 2 headings allowed in the final document
-
-2. **Analyze Original Document**
-
-   - Identify all content blocks
-   - Note original section organization
-   - Flag any custom sections
-
-3. **Create Backup First**
-
-   - Rename original file: `mv filename.md filename.md.bak`
-   - This preserves the original completely
-
-4. **Create New File**
-
-   - Create new `filename.md` from scratch
-   - Start with template structure (all Level 2 headings)
-   - For each content block from original:
-     - Find the most appropriate V4 template section
-     - If original had Level 2 heading not in template, demote to Level 3
-     - Preserve all text, lists, code blocks, diagrams, tables
-     - Remove only table of contents sections
-   - **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT add any LLM prompts, placeholders, or instructions
-   - If a template section has no matching content, leave it empty
-
-5. **Validate Content Preservation**
-   - For each major content block from original (excluding headings):
-     - Use grep or search to verify it exists in new file
-     - Report any content that couldn't be verified
-   - This ensures no accidental content loss
-
-## Example Migration
-
-```markdown
-Original (prd.md):
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-[content...]
-
-## Custom Feature Section
-
-[content...]
-
-## Table of Contents
-
-[toc...]
-
-Template (prd-tmpl.md):
-
-## Goals and Background Context
-
-## Functional Requirements
-
-## Success Metrics and KPIs
-
-Result (prd.md):
-
-## Goals and Background Context
-
-[executive summary content moved here]
-
-### Custom Feature Section
-
-[content preserved but demoted to Level 3]
-
-## Functional Requirements
-
-## Success Metrics and KPIs
-```
-
-## Execution Instructions
-
-[[LLM: When executing this task:
-
-1. Ask user for BOTH: input file path AND template path (do not assume)
-2. Validate compatibility:
-   - Check document title/type (PRD, Architecture, etc.)
-   - Ensure template matches document type
-   - REJECT if types don't match (e.g., "Cannot migrate PRD to architecture template")
-3. Read both files completely
-4. Rename original to .bak: `mv original.md original.md.bak`
-5. Extract Level 2 headings from template - these are MANDATORY
-6. Create NEW file with original name
-7. Build new content:
-   - Start with all template Level 2 sections
-   - Map original content to appropriate sections
-   - Demote any non-template Level 2 headings to Level 3
-   - Leave empty sections empty (no placeholders or instructions)
-8. Validate content preservation:
-   - Extract key content snippets from .bak file
-   - Use grep to verify each exists in new file
-   - Report any missing content
-9. Report migration summary:
-   - Sections moved/demoted
-   - Content validation results
-   - Any manual review needed
-
-]]
-
-### Document Type Detection
-
-[[LLM: Detect document type by examining:
-
-- File name (prd.md, architecture.md, etc.)
-- Main title (# Product Requirements Document, # Architecture, etc.)
-- Content patterns (user stories → PRD, technology stack → Architecture)
-
-Template compatibility:
-
-- prd-tmpl.md → Only for PRD documents
-- architecture-tmpl.md → Only for backend/single architecture
-- full-stack-architecture-tmpl.md → Only for architecture documents (can merge multiple)
-
-]]
-
-## Common Migrations
-
-Valid migrations:
-
-- `prd.md` → `.bmad-core/templates/prd-tmpl.md`
-- `architecture.md` → `.bmad-core/templates/architecture-tmpl.md`
-- `architecture.md` + `front-end-architecture.md` → `.bmad-core/templates/full-stack-architecture-tmpl.md`
-
-Invalid migrations (MUST REJECT):
-
-- `prd.md` → `.bmad-core/templates/architecture-tmpl.md`
-- `architecture.md` → `.bmad-core/templates/prd-tmpl.md`
-- `ux-ui-spec.md` → `.bmad-core/templates/prd-tmpl.md`
-
-## Validation
-
-After migration verify:
-
-- [ ] All Level 2 headings match template exactly
-- [ ] All original content is preserved (use grep validation)
-- [ ] No table of contents remains
-- [ ] Backup file exists with .bak extension
-- [ ] Custom sections demoted to Level 3 or lower
-
-### Content Validation Example
-
-[[LLM: Example validation approach:
-
-1. Extract significant text blocks from .bak file (>20 words)
-2. For each block, grep in new file:
-   ```bash
-   grep -F "first 10-15 words of content block" newfile.md
-   ```
-3. Track validation results:
-   - ✓ Found: content successfully migrated
-   - ✗ Missing: needs investigation
-4. Report any content that couldn't be found

-# Create AI Frontend Prompt Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-To generate a masterful, comprehensive, and optimized prompt that can be used with AI-driven frontend development tools (e.g., Lovable, Vercel v0, or similar) to scaffold or generate significant portions of the frontend application.
-
-## Inputs
-
-- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec-tmpl`)
-- Completed Frontend Architecture Document (`front-end-architecture`)
-- Main System Architecture Document (`architecture` - for API contracts and tech stack)
-- Primary Design Files (Figma, Sketch, etc. - for visual context if the tool can accept it or if descriptions are needed)
-
-## Key Activities & Instructions
-
-1. **Confirm Target AI Generation Platform:**
-
-   - Ask the user to specify which AI frontend generation tool/platform they intend to use (e.g., "Lovable.ai", "Vercel v0", "GPT-4 with direct code generation instructions", etc.).
-   - Explain that prompt optimization might differ slightly based on the platform's capabilities and preferred input format.
-
-2. **Synthesize Inputs into a Structured Prompt:**
-
-   - **Overall Project Context:**
-     - Briefly state the project's purpose (from brief/PRD).
-     - Specify the chosen frontend framework, core libraries, and UI component library (from `front-end-architecture` and main `architecture`).
-     - Mention the styling approach (e.g., Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules).
-   - **Design System & Visuals:**
-     - Reference the primary design files (e.g., Figma link).
-     - If the tool doesn't directly ingest design files, describe the overall visual style, color palette, typography, and key branding elements (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`).
-     - List any global UI components or design tokens that should be defined or adhered to.
-   - **Application Structure & Routing:**
-     - Describe the main pages/views and their routes (from `front-end-architecture` - Routing Strategy).
-     - Outline the navigation structure (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`).
-   - **Key User Flows & Page-Level Interactions:**
-     - For a few critical user flows (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`):
-       - Describe the sequence of user actions and expected UI changes on each relevant page.
-       - Specify API calls to be made (referencing API endpoints from the main `architecture`) and how data should be displayed or used.
-   - **Component Generation Instructions (Iterative or Key Components):**
-     - Based on the chosen AI tool's capabilities, decide on a strategy:
-       - **Option 1 (Scaffolding):** Prompt for the generation of main page structures, layouts, and placeholders for components.
-       - **Option 2 (Key Component Generation):** Select a few critical or complex components from the `front-end-architecture` (Component Breakdown) and provide detailed specifications for them (props, state, basic behavior, key UI elements).
-       - **Option 3 (Holistic, if tool supports):** Attempt to describe the entire application structure and key components more broadly.
-     - <important_note>Advise the user that generating an entire complex application perfectly in one go is rare. Iterative prompting or focusing on sections/key components is often more effective.</important_note>
-   - **State Management (High-Level Pointers):**
-     - Mention the chosen state management solution (e.g., "Use Redux Toolkit").
-     - For key pieces of data, indicate if they should be managed in global state.
-   - **API Integration Points:**
-     - For pages/components that fetch or submit data, clearly state the relevant API endpoints (from `architecture`) and the expected data shapes (can reference schemas in `data-models` or `api-reference` sections of the architecture doc).
-   - **Critical "Don'ts" or Constraints:**
-     - e.g., "Do not use deprecated libraries." "Ensure all forms have basic client-side validation."
-   - **Platform-Specific Optimizations:**
-     - If the chosen AI tool has known best practices for prompting (e.g., specific keywords, structure, level of detail), incorporate them. (This might require the agent to have some general knowledge or to ask the user if they know any such specific prompt modifiers for their chosen tool).
-
-3. **Present and Refine the Master Prompt:**
-   - Output the generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
-   - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included.
-   - Work with the user to refine the prompt based on their knowledge of the target AI tool and any specific nuances they want to emphasize.
-   - <important_note>Remind the user that the generated code from the AI tool will likely require review, testing, and further refinement by developers.</important_note>

-# Agent Switcher Instructions
-
-## Overview
-
-This document provides instructions for switching between different IDE agent personas in the BMAD-METHOD framework.
-
-## Behavior
-
-### Listing Available Agents
-
-When no agent name is provided:
-
-1. Read the `bmad-core/ide-agents/` directory
-2. Look for files matching the pattern `*.ide.md`
-3. Extract agent names from filenames (the part before `.ide.md`)
-4. Present a numbered list of available agents
-
-### Loading an Agent
-
-When an agent name is provided:
-
-1. Attempt to load `bmad-core/ide-agents/{agent-name}.ide.md`
-2. If the file doesn't exist:
-   - List all available agents found in the directory
-   - Prompt for a valid selection
-3. If the file exists:
-   - Read and internalize the agent's instructions
-   - Note the agent's name and role from the Agent Profile section
-   - Embody that agent's persona, communication style, and capabilities
-   - Use the agent's name when referring to yourself (e.g., "I'm John, the Product Manager")
-   - Follow the agent's specific workflows and constraints
-
-### Active Agent Behavior
-
-When successfully operating as an IDE agent:
-
-- Strictly follow the agent's defined capabilities and limitations
-- Only execute commands that the agent supports (typically prefixed with `*`)
-- Maintain the agent identity and context until switched or exited
-- If asked to perform tasks outside the agent's scope:
-  - Inform the user of the limitation
-  - Suggest the appropriate agent for that task
-
-### Exiting Agent Mode
-
-When exiting agent mode:
-
-- Immediately exit the current agent persona
-- Return to standard assistant capabilities
-- Clear any agent-specific context or workflows
-
-## Implementation Details
-
-- Each agent maintains its own context and workflow state
-- Switching agents clears the previous agent's context
-- Agents are self-contained - no need to read additional files
-- The system automatically adapts as agents are added or removed
-
-## Example Interactions
-
-### Example Listing Agents
-
-```text
-User: [requests agent list]
-Agent: Available IDE agents:
-1. architect
-2. dev
-3. devops
-4. pm
-5. po
-6. sm
-
-Please select an agent by specifying: <agent-name>
-```
-
-### Example Loading an Agent
-
-```text
-User: [requests dev agent]
-Agent: [Loads dev.ide.md and operates as Dev agent]
-```
-
-### Example Invalid Agent Request
-
-```text
-User: [requests designer agent]
-Agent: Could not find IDE agent 'designer'. Available agents:
-1. architect
-2. dev
-3. devops
-4. pm
-5. po
-6. sm
-
-Please select an agent by specifying: <agent-name>
-```
-
-### Example Task Outside Agent Scope
-
-```text
-[While operating as Dev agent]
-User: Create a PRD
-Agent: I'm currently operating as the Dev agent, which doesn't have PRD creation capabilities.
-The PM agent can create PRDs. Would you like me to switch to the PM agent?
-```
-
-### Example Exiting Agent Mode
-
-```text
-User: [requests to exit agent mode]
-Agent: Exited IDE agent mode. Returned to standard assistant capabilities.
-```

-# Web Agent Bundle Instructions
-
-You are now operating as a specialized AI agent from the BMAD-METHOD framework. This is a bundled web-compatible version containing all necessary resources for your role.
-
-## Important Instructions
-
-1. **Follow all startup commands**: Your agent configuration includes startup instructions that define your behavior, personality, and approach. These MUST be followed exactly.
-
-2. **Resource Navigation**: This bundle contains all resources you need. Resources are marked with tags like:
-
-- `==================== START: folder#filename ====================`
-- `==================== END: folder#filename ====================`
-
-When you need to reference a resource mentioned in your instructions:
-
-- Look for the corresponding START/END tags
-- The format is always `folder#filename` (e.g., `personas#analyst`, `tasks#create-story`)
-- If a section is specified (e.g., `tasks#create-story#section-name`), navigate to that section within the file
-
-**Understanding YAML References**: In the agent configuration, resources are referenced in the dependencies section. For example:
-
-```yaml
-dependencies:
-  utils:
-    - template-format
-  tasks:
-    - create-story
-```
-
-These references map directly to bundle sections:
-
-- `utils: template-format` → Look for `==================== START: utils#template-format ====================`
-- `tasks: create-story` → Look for `==================== START: tasks#create-story ====================`
-
-3. **Execution Context**: You are operating in a web environment. All your capabilities and knowledge are contained within this bundle. Work within these constraints to provide the best possible assistance.
-
-4. **Primary Directive**: Your primary goal is defined in your agent configuration below. Focus on fulfilling your designated role according to the BMAD-METHOD framework.

-# Template Format Conventions
-
-Templates in the BMAD method use standardized markup for AI processing. These conventions ensure consistent document generation.
-
-## Template Markup Elements
-
-- **{{placeholders}}**: Variables to be replaced with actual content
-- **[[LLM: instructions]]**: Internal processing instructions for AI agents (never shown to users)
-- **REPEAT** sections: Content blocks that may be repeated as needed
-- **^^CONDITION^^** blocks: Conditional content included only if criteria are met
-- **@{examples}**: Example content for guidance (never output to users)
-
-## Processing Rules
-
-- Replace all {{placeholders}} with project-specific content
-- Execute all [[LLM: instructions]] internally without showing users
-- Process conditional and repeat blocks as specified
-- Use examples for guidance but never include them in final output
-- Present only clean, formatted content to users
-
-## Critical Guidelines
-
-- **NEVER display template markup, LLM instructions, or examples to users**
-- Template elements are for AI processing only
-- Focus on faithful template execution and clean output
-- All template-specific instructions are embedded within templates

-# Roo Code Custom Modes for BMAD-METHOD
-
-This directory contains custom mode configurations for Roo Code to enable BMAD agent personalities.
-
-## Setup
-
-The `.roomodes` file defines all BMAD agents as custom modes using the proper `customModes:` structure. Modes are automatically available in Roo Code when you open this project.
-
-## Available Modes
-
-- **bmad-analyst** - Business Analyst
-- **bmad-architect** - Solution Architect
-- **bmad-bmad-master** - BMAD Master
-- **bmad-bmad-orchestrator** - BMAD Orchestrator
-- **bmad-dev** - Developer
-- **bmad-pm** - Product Manager
-- **bmad-po** - Product Owner
-- **bmad-qa** - QA Specialist
-- **bmad-sm** - Scrum Master
-- **bmad-ux-expert** - UX Expert
-
-## Usage
-
-In Roo Code:
-
-1. Open the mode selector (usually in the status bar)
-2. Select any BMAD agent mode
-3. The AI will adopt that agent's personality and expertise
-
-## File Permissions
-
-Each agent has specific file access permissions:
-
-- **Analysts, PM, PO, SM**: Limited to documentation files (.md, .txt)
-- **Architect**: Architecture docs and configs (.md, .txt, .yml, .yaml, .json)
-- **QA**: Test files and documentation
-- **UX Expert**: Design-related files (.md, .css, .scss, .html, .jsx, .tsx)
-- **Developer, Orchestrator, Master**: Full edit access to all files

I do not want you to waste your time on a potentially very large PR to have it rejected because it is not aligned or deviates from other planned changes. Communicate and lets work together to build and improve this great community project!
 
+**Important**: All contributions must align with our [Guiding Principles](GUIDING-PRINCIPLES.md). Key points:

+
+#### PR Size Guidelines
+
+- **Ideal PR size**: 200-400 lines of code changes
+- **Maximum PR size**: 800 lines (excluding generated files)
+- **One feature/fix per PR**: Each PR should address a single issue or add one feature
+- **If your change is larger**: Break it into multiple smaller PRs that can be reviewed independently
+- **Related changes**: Even related changes should be separate PRs if they deliver independent value
+
+#### Breaking Down Large PRs
+
+If your change exceeds 800 lines, use this checklist to split it:
+
+- [ ] Can I separate the refactoring from the feature implementation?
+- [ ] Can I introduce the new API/interface in one PR and implementation in another?
+- [ ] Can I split by file or module?
+- [ ] Can I create a base PR with shared utilities first?
+- [ ] Can I separate test additions from implementation?
+- [ ] Even if changes are related, can they deliver value independently?
+- [ ] Can these changes be merged in any order without breaking things?

+Example breakdown:
+
+1. PR #1: Add utility functions and types (100 lines)
+2. PR #2: Refactor existing code to use utilities (200 lines)
+3. PR #3: Implement new feature using refactored code (300 lines)
+4. PR #4: Add comprehensive tests (200 lines)

+# BMAD Method Guiding Principles
+
+The BMAD Method is a natural language framework for AI-assisted software development. These principles ensure contributions maintain the method's effectiveness.
+
+## Core Principles
+
+### 1. Dev Agents Must Be Lean
+
+- **Minimize dev agent dependencies**: Development agents that work in IDEs must have minimal context overhead
+- **Save context for code**: Every line counts - dev agents should focus on coding, not documentation
+- **Web agents can be larger**: Planning agents (PRD Writer, Architect) used in web UI can have more complex tasks and dependencies
+- **Small files, loaded on demand**: Multiple small, focused files are better than large files with many branches
+
+### 2. Natural Language First
+
+- **Everything is markdown**: Agents, tasks, templates - all written in plain English
+- **No code in core**: The framework itself contains no programming code, only natural language instructions
+- **Self-contained templates**: Templates include their own generation instructions using `[[LLM: ...]]` markup
+
+### 3. Agent and Task Design
+
+- **Agents define roles**: Each agent is a persona with specific expertise (e.g., Frontend Developer, API Developer)
+- **Tasks are procedures**: Step-by-step instructions an agent follows to complete work
+- **Templates are outputs**: Structured documents with embedded instructions for generation
+- **Dependencies matter**: Explicitly declare only what's needed
+
+## Practical Guidelines
+
+### When to Add to Core
+
+- Universal software development needs only
+- Doesn't bloat dev agent contexts
+- Follows existing agent/task/template patterns
+
+### When to Create Expansion Packs
+
+- Domain-specific needs beyond software development
+- Non-technical domains (business, wellness, education, creative)
+- Specialized technical domains (games, infrastructure, mobile)
+- Heavy documentation or knowledge bases
+- Anything that would bloat core agents
+
+See [Expansion Packs Guide](../docs/expansion-packs.md) for detailed examples and ideas.
+
+### Agent Design Rules
+
+1. **Web/Planning Agents**: Can have richer context, multiple tasks, extensive templates
+2. **Dev Agents**: Minimal dependencies, focused on code generation, lean task sets
+3. **All Agents**: Clear persona, specific expertise, well-defined capabilities
+
+### Task Writing Rules
+
+1. Write clear step-by-step procedures
+2. Use markdown formatting for readability
+3. Keep dev agent tasks focused and concise
+4. Planning tasks can be more elaborate
+5. **Prefer multiple small tasks over one large branching task**
+   - Instead of one task with many conditional paths
+   - Create multiple focused tasks the agent can choose from
+   - This keeps context overhead minimal
+6. **Reuse common tasks** - Don't create new document creation tasks
+   - Use the existing `create-doc` task
+   - Pass the appropriate template with embedded LLM instructions
+   - This maintains consistency and reduces duplication
+
+### Template Rules
+
+1. Include generation instructions with `[[LLM: ...]]` markup
+2. Provide clear structure for output
+3. Make templates reusable across agents
+4. Use standardized markup elements:
+   - `{{placeholders}}` for variables to be replaced
+   - `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing (never shown to users)
+   - `REPEAT` sections for repeatable content blocks
+   - `^^CONDITION^^` blocks for conditional content
+   - `@{examples}` for guidance examples (never output to users)
+5. NEVER display template markup or LLM instructions to users
+6. Focus on clean output - all processing instructions stay internal
+
+## Remember
+
+- The power is in natural language orchestration, not code
+- Dev agents code, planning agents plan
+- Keep dev agents lean for maximum coding efficiency
+- Expansion packs handle specialized domains

+2. Optionally run the `doc-migration-task` to align your documents with V4 templates - you can do this with your agent my saying something like: 'run {drag in task} against {drag prd or arch file from docs} to align with {drag the template from .bmad-core/templates/full-stack-architecture.md}
+3. If you have separate front-end and backend architecture docs you can modify step 2 to merge both into a single full stack architecture or separate Front and Back end.
 
-**Note**: The agents in `.bmad-core/` fully replace the items in `bmad-agent/`.
+The reason #2 and 3 are optional is because now BMad V4 makes sharding optional for the SM. See [Core Configuration](#-core-configuration-new-in-v4)
+
+**Note**: The agents in `.bmad-core/` fully replace the items in `bmad-agent/` - you can remove the backup folder versions.
+
+### 🔧 Core Configuration (NEW in V4)
+
+**Critical**: V4 introduces `bmad-core/core-config.yml` - a powerful configuration file that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, whether it's V4-optimized or legacy. You can even now use non-standard PRDs and architectures!
+
+#### What is core-config.yml?
+
+This configuration file tells BMAD agents exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It's the key to V4's flexibility and backwards compatibility.
+
+#### Key Features
+
+- **Version Awareness**: Agents understand if your PRD/Architecture follows V4 conventions or earlier versions
+- **Flexible Document Locations**: Works whether your epics are embedded in PRD or properly sharded
+- **Developer Context**: Define which files the dev agent should always load
+- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting story implementation
+
+#### Why It Matters
+
+- **Use BMAD with ANY project structure** - V3, V4, or custom layouts
+- **No forced migrations** - Keep your existing document organization
+- **Customize developer workflow** - Specify exactly which files provide context
+- **Seamless upgrades** - Start with V3 docs and gradually adopt V4 patterns

+
+### Technical Expansion Packs
+
+- 🎮 **Game Development** - Game designers, level creators, narrative writers
+- 🏗️ **Infrastructure/DevOps** - Cloud architects, security specialists, SRE agents
+- 📱 **Mobile Development** - iOS/Android specialists, UX designers
+- 🔗 **Blockchain/Web3** - Smart contract developers, DeFi architects
+
+### Non-Technical Expansion Packs
+
+- 💼 **Business Strategy** - Strategic planners, market analysts, business coaches
+- 💪 **Health & Wellness** - Fitness coaches, nutrition advisors, meditation guides
+- 🎨 **Creative Arts** - Story writers, world builders, character developers
+- 📚 **Education** - Curriculum designers, tutors, learning coaches
+- 🧠 **Personal Development** - Life coaches, goal setters, habit builders
+- 🏢 **Professional Services** - Legal advisors, medical protocols, research assistants
+
+### Creating Your Own Expansion Pack
+
+The BMAD framework can support any domain where structured AI assistance is valuable:
+
+1. Define specialized agents with domain expertise
+2. Create task procedures for common workflows
+3. Build templates for domain-specific outputs
+4. Package as an expansion pack for others to use
+

+  - Test-Driven Quality - Write tests alongside code. Task incomplete without passing tests
+  - Quality Gate Discipline - NEVER complete tasks with failing automated validations
+  - Debug Log Discipline - Log temp changes to md table in devDebugLog. Revert after fix.
+  - Block Only When Critical - HALT for: missing approval/ambiguous reqs/3 failures/missing config
